Purpose

Family businesses gain notoriety in academic research because they have peculiarities found only in this type of organization, and it is because of these attributes that this work aims to analyze, through an epistemological look, the results of a systematization that sought for works that use the unique characteristics of family businesses, called familiness, as well as two other constructs that showed attractive adherents and little researched in parities with familiness, organizational entrepreneurship, better known as entrepreneurial orientation and the ability to adapt, called absorption capacity.

Design/methodology/approach

To achieve this goal, an investigation of national and international academic production was carried out through a systematization called Proknow-C, being possible to identify the main categorical groups of authors in the area, main journals, besides identifying and analyzing the main objectives and contributions of selected scientific articles.

Findings

Among the results obtained, it was possible to consolidate some research intentions inherent to the junction of such constructs, besides directing, which can be the best and most promising fields of research for the application of these constructs and the most indicated methods, based on the three epistemological positions, subjectivism, objectivism and constructivism.

Originality/value

This study adds value to the literature on familiness, pointing to a relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and absorption capacity, in contrast to studies focused on other dimensions of social capital, which obtained divergent results. In addition, this study reinforces the unique characteristics of family enterprises, in which this work intends to consolidate a methodological proposal with arguments linked to positivism or interpretativism in the midst of epistemology. The study provides a valuable theoretical framework of familiness determinants connecting the cognitive perspective of the entrepreneur theory to a view of the absorptive capacity.

坚持家族性、创业取向和吸收能力的文章系统化知识

目的

家族企业在学术研究中声名狼藉，因为它们具有仅在这种类型的组织中才能发现的特性，正是由于这些属性，这项工作旨在通过认识论的视角来分析系统化的结果，该系统化的结果是寻求使用这些组织的作品。家族企业的独特特征，称为家族性，以及另外两个结构，显示出有吸引力的追随者，但很少研究与家族性、组织创业精神，更广为人知的是创业导向和适应能力，称为吸收能力。

设计/方法/方法

为了实现这一目标，通过名为 Proknow-C 的系统化对国内和国际学术成果进行了调查，除了确定和分析主要目标和贡献外，还可以确定该领域、主要期刊的主要作者类别精选的科学文章。

发现

在获得的结果中，除了指导之外，还可以巩固这些结构连接所固有的一些研究意图，这可能是应用这些结构和最指示方法的最佳和最有前途的研究领域，基于三种认识论立场，主观主义、客观主义和建构主义。

原创性/价值

本研究为有关家庭的文献增加了价值，指出了创业取向和吸收能力之间的关系，与侧重于社会资本其他维度的研究相比，获得了不同的结果。此外，这项研究加强了家族企业的独特特征，其中这项工作旨在巩固一个方法论建议与认识论中与实证主义或解释主义相关的论点。该研究提供了一个有价值的家庭决定因素理论框架，将企业家理论的认知视角与吸收能力的观点联系起来。
